Very sad news. RIP DA, and thanks. I enjoyed a Maestro and some of your "leche" last night to celebrate your life and all you have given us.

Rest In Peace...

Great Loss to the Cigar world and Cuba

Just a for what it is worth here, a couple of points

None of the VR marca was from tobacco from don Alejandro's farm. He grew wrapper only.

He was somewhat mystified by the VR brand, although he understood it was an honor.

He once said to me that some people were so poor that all they saved was money.

Back from vacation, and I see that cigar idol has passed. I hope that his final days were spent as happy and painfree as possible. May we cherish his life and contributions to the industry. Condolences to the family and Cuba for their loss of the tobacco messiah.
